Accomplishments
Most of my experience is in Adult care, many with some form of Dementia or behavioral issues . I successfully learned a lot of different strategy to overcome or redirect those individuals safely
I successfully raise three children who all are on the Autism spectrum or live with ADHD, with out any real help from interventional resources, none existed so I came up with strategies to cope behavioral issues.
